State Snowmobile Trail #14 in Marquette and Baraga Counties Reopened

Contact:  Tom Proulx 906-353-6651
Agency: Natural Resources


Jan. 27, 2010

The Department of Natural Resources & Environment announced today that snowmobile trail #14, between L'Anse and Big Bay in Marquette and Baraga counties, has reopened to riders. Although the trail has reopened, a section of approximately 200 yards will need to be shared with logging trucks as an ongoing timber sale nears completion. The affected section is posted, and logging trucks will have the right of way.

"The logging company lost a number of hauling days this fall due to wet weather, which extended their work into the snowmobiling season," said DNRE Fire Officer Tom Proulx. "With no feasible detour, the logging trucks must use the trail for access to the timber site. The portion of trail with shared use of both trucks and snowmobiles is clearly posted for everyone's safety."

Questions may be directed to Tom Proulx at 906-353-6651, or Ron Yesney, DNRE recreation specialist, at 906-228-6561. Information regarding other snowmobile riding opportunities, including snowmobile trail maps, may be found on the DNRE's Web site at http://www.michigan.gov/dnre, under Outdoor Recreation.

The DNRE is committed to conserve, manage, protect, and promote accessible use and enjoyment of the state's environmental, natural resource, and related economic interests for current and future generations.
